Looks like I broke it, oops!

Fixed for next version.

 

Noticed a few issues while running vanilla patch 2 with temple 1.0.75.

CE vignette - talking to Rannos in Hommlet and using the dialogue option to go straight away to the Moathouse takes the player to Emridy Meadows instead. Works correctly with 1.0.75 + Co8 8.1 and with patch 2 + 1.0.13.
Fixed v1.0.76

Tutorial - Ariel casts magic missiles with three projectiles, as a lvl 3 wiz there should be just two. Works correctly with co8 and with patch 2 + 1.0.13.
Fixed v1.0.76

Locked doors and chests don't show any icons, vanilla toee shows a lock or a key icon. Works correctly in patch 2 + 1.0.13.
Fixed v1.0.76 (It's been that way since v1.0.25. Oops!)

Moathouse map has a visual effect showing green dragonflies flying around. This effect seems to be missing while using temple+.
Fixed v1.0.76 (finally...)

 

Are you sure? I wasn't able to replicate that...

 

Yeah, did a fresh install today on two machines (win 7 & 10).

Ok I see that's the case with Patch2 with latest Temple+.
Just to clarify, when you said it's working correctly with Co8, did you mean Co8 with Temple+?

It looks like I was relying on Moebius' fix for Magic Missile being in the data files. Fixed for next version.

 

Yes, 1.0.75 with Co8 8.1.

 

Hello world,
I've noticed some minor bugs. Wild Elves are all men, you have no say in the matter. Wood Elves are supposed to get -2 Charisma penalty but they strongly disagree.
Fixed 1.0.76

 

Hello, I've decided to try out Temple+ after years of playing Co8. I did not install it immediately, first I installed gog version of ToEE, I've let the Co8 do his thing and try to run it(I was not sure if I even want to try out this T+ yet). The Co8 however encountered error trying to run the game.exe saying how it isn't compatible with windows and whatnot. As this was a fresh new installation of w7, I found out that I didn't have all the drivers installed so I downloaded what was needed and after that I was able to load from Co8.

Then however, I decided to try T+. So I read the instructions to prepare but as soon as I typed the path to game dir in T+ confing I got a warning saying "unsupported .dll version/DLL unknown". Puzzled, I couldn't find any mention on what to do in such case(other than to reinstall everything) and I tried reactivating Co8 module from that program's option. I then reopened T+ config and typed the path = success, ddl was recognized, but I could not start the game via T+(something about .dll shown again). Turned out I had to find and install an update to universal C runtime for win based on an online suggestion, so I did that, went back to T+ config checked if I configured everything (only enable soft shades in main checked, everything except non-core, lax rules and slower lvling in house rules) and started the game. It was working, BUT.

Started a normal game, selected my party's alignment, and was welcomed to an empty character pool. No buttons except "create" were accessible and I could create but never saw my character after, the pool remained empty. Luckily the guy above noticed the wild elves gender issues too or I'd find it relevant here. Any thoughts? Pic included

 

That's odd. Is 'hide pregenerated' option checked? In what folder did you install toee? If it's program files, it's recommended to install it elsewhere since that can entail permission issues. You could also try running it as admin.

 

First, thanks for such a quick reply and no; as seen in my poor attempt to link image both hide options were not checked although I fiddled with them on/off and nothing changed. And no, I keep my games on D:\, checking properties/compatibility/run as admin = all good.

I got impatient in the meantime, I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to bump so soon lol. So I reinstalled everything and in my haste forgot the most important part - aka I didn't secure the T+ log file from documents, force of habit to clear any leftovers from uninstall.. But nevermind now, pointless to cry over spilled milk. The important thing now is: I did everything again, step by step, checking(starting) the game after every installation to make sure the core works as well as Co8 and lastly T+. It works, and although wild elves are still all lads I can play it. I'll b sure to contribute any future finds to forums, sorry again for the log file, could have been of use to u more than my rants. So, in conclusion I think my fiddling with drivers and all that is what was confusing the thing, idk. If anyone ever manages to recreate my steps = atleast they'll know better now and just drop it+reinstall everything

Lastly, a question: could someone point me to a thread or anything with details on what T+ "non-core mats" option brings exactly? I'd like a preview or some details b4 trying it out.

 

Check out the changelog thread on this forum (search for "core").

 

Found the t+ changelog thread, I was more hoping to see some details for added stuff, like actual detailed descriptions that show what the new stuff does instead of just giving me a list or a mention. Is there an entry for this, a wiki or something? Do I have to enable it and read new feats and classes description from game, is that it?

Also I found a

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

"Chain Devil Helm" in Imeryds Run

that has no description and google can't help me see what it does. I found one unanswered post and that's it, nothing ingame or out of it to atleast suggest what's the deal with that item.

Overall it looks like it's a polished and improved co8. In my co8 runs however some areas were extra buggy like the fire temple and elemental plains so I want to see how it looks now. Some may be pleased to know that archer style ranger works really well now(I was never happy with rngr in ToEE but after a slow start it's now the most trustworthy dmg dealer that crits as much as other characters if not more), I tried some weird combinations like thiefling wizard aka the scaling wizard, and the game handles the lvl difference correctly and without issues. Having a smooth run so far, great job.

I saw that the Gargoyle encounter in the Earth temple level still doesn't work for me, cause I can't lift the bars when I'm in combat so I just hope that the right guys stay inside when it drops or I just send animals and summons in first and blindly shower the other side with aoe and more summons. There isn't a way to approach this area directly and not have issues with that gate.

I'd really like to know how to search threads here

 

The Gargoyles are Harpies. They have the ability to fascinate the PCs.

To avoid the gate problem, you can simply move close to the entrance, and then wait for the bad guys to come to you, and then fight them in the hallway.

 

All of the new feats, abilities, enhancements, etc are easy to find with a search engine. There are a ton of D&D sites and wikis.

Given that the people adding all these extras are doing a lot of work in their free time, we should be able to do a bit of the work for ourselves.

 

I also find searching threads to be frustrating. There seem to be a million threads.

There is a great Walkthrough for ToEE on the Co8 site: https://co8.org/community/index.php...le-of-eight-modpack-new-content-edition.8742/

It is not up to date with all of the temple+ additions, but the temple+ change logs are good to check with each new update.

 

Yes, Harpies I'm a bit all over the place so I misstyped.

I didn't want to sound like I was nitpicking, it was merely a question but thanks for the schooling I kinda deserved it. Should've avoided asking in the first place, it's not that important. Getting old can make you inpatient the same way that too many lazy/mundane questions make older member of the community strike the newblood over. Thanks for the replies, and in case I wasn't clear - I don't SEE a search option other than that one on the home page? So how do I search within a thread/section?

 

As far as searching in this particular thread, there are only three pages of posts, so that is not an issue. The Co8.org site has a quite a lot of search functions when you click on their search bar. I rarely do searches there, so I am not entirely sure how easy it is to find precise information quickly. The Walkthrough has lots of info as well.

I just opened a thread on the Co8 site, and the search bar is in the same place as on the home page.

 

Use this on the top right corner:

 

Thanks, now I know the problem, I think I don't have that option cause I'm still on trial or smthing, here:


(open it in new tab if it doesn't show here idk it won't let me show the full pic in line)

I'm still learning things sorry. I'm not sure which are trial limitations and which are my mistakes yet.. I learned how to ignore, that's something. Thanks for taking time to help me, GarfunkeL I don't have the search option otherwise I'm sure I'd manage to be less annoying to others.

 

Didn't even know that trials cannot use the forum search. Paste this in Google
"site:rpgcodex.net temple+"
and it'll return all the posts with that word in them. But we don't have that many threads about Temple+ anyway so you might not get anything relevant.

 

Sitra Achara
So got back to ToEE after a while.
Installed GoG version, Co8 Modpack and Temple+
GoG version was running fine; Activated Co8 New Content v8.1.0 and it was running fine too.
But Temple+ v1.0.75 is giving runtime error and crashing.

I disabled AA, ran in fullscreen mode; updated directx etc. still the same issue persists. the .log file in Temple+ is also empty btw.

any help?

 

Chaotic_Heretic We've seen very early crashes (as in: empty logfile) when the TemplePlus.ini file somehow got corrupted. Can you send your .ini file to templeplushelp@gmail.com please, I'll take a look if that's it.

 

Will do, but just a thought the temple+ v1.0.13 (latest before directx 11 overhaul) works fine; I will try a direct x 11 update from a third party site and then see.

Temple+ v1.075 runs fine on a fully updated windows 7.

But I usually do uninstall of problematic windows updates after full install.

So Temple+ uses some of the updates in the above list as a prerequisite. If that is the case i would rather make do with Temple v1.0.13

 

Greetings all,

I was hoping to contribute to Temple+ by going through the .dlg files, line by line, and correcting any typos, missing punctuation, etc. I had unpacked the .dat files, finished editing the dialogues of the first few Hommlet villagers, only to realize my changes weren't being registered in-game. The workaround I discovered was to remove the .dat files from the ToEE directory (keeping them safe in another folder, of course). This apparently forced the game to recognize my edits.

However, I am now concerned about compatibility issues. Will Temple+ be able to update games with unpacked files? Will I have to repack the .dlg files in order to submit them? Thanks for any guidance here--I'm new to ToEE modding.
